Human trafficking in South Africa

A study of human trafficking in South Africa released recently revealed a secretive underworld where women and children were at growing risk of abduction and exploitation. The study, commissioned by the NPA and conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council, recommend that trafficking awareness become part of the national school curriculum. Some 28 000 to 30 000 children are at present being prostituted in South Africa and victims are often recruited from rural areas or informal settlements and transported to cities.
